Numbers 31
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
BWANA alinena na Musa na kumwambia,
2 'Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites; afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.'
“Uwalipizie kisasi Wamidiani kwa kile walichowafanya Waisraeli. Baada ya kufanya hivyo utakufa na kukusanyika na watu wako.”
3 And Moses spoke unto the people, saying: 'Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the LORD'S vengeance on Midian.
Kwa hiyo Musa akawaambia watu. Akasema, “andaeni baadhi ya majeshi yenu kwa ajili ya vita ili kwamba wakawapige Wamidiani na kubeba kiapo cha BWANA.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.'
Kwa kila kabila la Israeli watatuma askari elfu moja kwa ajili ya vita.”
5 So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Kwa hiyo kati ya wanaume maelfu elfu wa Israeli, wanaume elfu moja walitolewa kwa ajili ya vita, jumla ya wanaume elfu kumi na mbili.
6 And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy vessels and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
Kisha Musa akawatuma kwenda vitani, elfu moja toka kila kabila pamoja na Finehasi mwana wa Eliazari kuhanai, wakiwa na vitu kutoka mahali patakatifu wakiwa na matarumbeta kwa ajili ya ishara za sauti.
7 And they warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
Wakapigana na Midiani, kama BWANA alivyokuwa amemwamuru Musa. Wakamwua kila mwanaume.
8 And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian; Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
Wakawaua wafalme wa Midiani pamoja na wengine waliowaua ni: Evi, Rekimu, Zuri, Huri, na Reba, hawa walaikuwa ndio waflme watano wa Midiani. pia walimwua Balaamu mwana wa Beori, kwa upanga.
9 And the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.
Jeshi la Israeli likawachukua mateka wanawake wa Midiani, watoto wao, mifugo yao yote, kondoo wao na bidhaa zao zote. walivichukua hivi kama mateka.
10 And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
Waliichoma moto miji yao yote walimoishi na kambi zao zote.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.
Walichukua vitu vyote na wafungwa, watu na wanyama.
12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp, unto the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
Wakawaleta mateka, nyara, na wakakamata vitu wakavileta kwa Musa, na Eliazari kuhani, na kwa jamii ya watu wa Israeli. Wakavileta hivi vitu kambini katika uwanda wa Moabu, kule Yorodani karibu na Yeriko.
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
Musa, Eliazari kuhani, pamoja na viongozi wa watu wakaenda kukutana nao nje ya kambi.
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.
Lakini Musa alikuwa na hasira dhidi ya viongozi wa jeshi, Wale majemedari wa maelfu na maakida wa mamia, waliotoka kupigana.
15 And Moses said unto them: 'Have ye saved all the women alive?
Musa akawaambia, “Je, mmeawaacha wanawake wote kuishi?
16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to revolt so as to break faith with the LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of the LORD.
Tazama, wanawake hawa ndio waliosababisha watu wa Israeli, kwa kupitia ushauri wa Balaamu, kufanya dhambi dhidi ya BWANA huko Peori, wakati ile tauni iliposambaa kwa watu wa Mungu.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
Sasa basi, ueni kila mwanaume kuanzia wadogo, na ueni kila mwanamke aliyelala na mwanamume.
18 But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Lakini chukueni wale mabinti wadogo ambao hawajalala na mwanamume.
19 And encamp ye without the camp seven days; whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives.
Mtaweka kambi nje na kambi za Israeli kwa muda wa siku saba. Ninyi wote ambao mmeua watu au ambao mmegusa maiti yeyote mtajitakasa wenyewe katika siku ya tatu na katika siku ya saba - ninyi na mateka wenu.
20 And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood, ye shall purify.'
Na mtayatakasa mavazi yenu yote, na kila kitu kilichotengenezwa kwa ngozi za wanyama, na manyoya ya mbuzi, na kila kitu kilichotengenezwa kwa mbao.”
21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war that went to the battle: 'This is the statute of the law which the LORD hath commanded Moses:
Eliazarai kuahani akawaambia wale wanajeshi waliokuwa wameenda vitani, “Hii ni amri ya sheria ambayo BWANA alimpa Musa:
22 Howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Zile dhahabu, fedha, vyuma, bati, risasi,
23 every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sprinkling; and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water.
na kila kitu knaweza kuhhimili moto, mtakiweka katka moto, navyo vitakuwa safi. Nakisha mtavitakasa vitu hivyo na maji ya farakano. Na vitu vyote ambavyo haviwezi kupita katika moto, mtavitakasa kwa maji hayo.
24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye may come into the camp.'
Na mtazifua nguao zenu katika siku ya saba, ndipo mtakapokuwa safi. Baada ya hapo mnaweza kurudi kwenye kambi za Israeli.”
25 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Kisha BWANA akanena na Musa, akamwambia,
26 'Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the congregation;
“Vihesabu vitu vyote vilivyochukuliwa nyara, wote watu na wanyama. Wewe, Eliazari kuhani, na viongozi wa watu kufuata koo
27 and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation;
watavigawa hivi vitu katika mkundi mawili. Mvigawe kwa wanajeshi walioenda kupigana na kwa watu wote.
28 and levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the flocks;
Kisha toza kodi ambayo itatolewa kwangu kutoka kwa wanajeshi waliokuwa wameenda vitani. Hii kodi itakuwa moja kati ya mia tano, katika watu, ng'ombe, punda, kondoo, au mbuzi.
29 take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, as a portion set apart for the LORD.
Uichukue hii kodi kutoka katika nusu yao na umpe Eliazari kuhani kwa ajili ya sadaka itakayotolewa kwangu.
30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, even of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, that keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.'
Pia kutoka katika nusu ya watu wa Israeli, utachukua moja kati ya hamsini -kutoka vitu, ng'ombe, punda, na mbuzi. Uvitoe hivi kwa Walawi wanaotumika katika masikani yangu.”
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Kwa hiyo Musa na Eliazari kuhani wakafanya kama BWANA alivyokuwa amemwamuru Musa.
32 Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
Sasa zile nyara zilizokuwa zimebaki ambazo wanajeshi walikuwa wameteka zilikuwa kondoo 675, 000,
33 and threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
maksai elfu sabini na mbili,
34 and threescore and one thousand asses,
punda elfu sitini na moja,
35 and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him.
na wanawake elfu thelathini na mbili ambao walikuwa hawajalala na mwanamume yeyote.
36 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep.
Ile hesabu ya nusu iliyokuwa imetunzwa kwa ajili ya wanajeshi ilikuwa kondoo 337, 000. Ile sehemu ya
37 And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
BWANA ya kondoo ilikuwa kondoo 675.
38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand, of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and twelve.
Maksai walikuwa elfu thelathini na sita ambayo kodi ya BWANA ilikuwa sabini na mbili.
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred, of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and one.
Punda walikuwa 30, 500 ambao sehemu ya BWANA ilikuwa sitini na moja.
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons.
Watu walikuwa wanawake elfu kumi na sita ambao kodi ya BWANA ilikuwa thelathini na mbili.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was set apart for the LORD, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Musa aliichukua ile kodi ambayo ilitakiwa kuwekwa sadaka kwa BWANA. Akampatia Eliazari kuhani, kama BWANA alivyomwamuru Musa.
42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred —
Ile nusu ya watu wa Israeli ambayo Musa alikuwa ameichukua toka kwa wanawjeshi waliokuwa wameenda vitani -
43 now the congregation's half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
ile nusu y a watu ilikuwa kondoo 337, 500,
44 and thirty and six thousand beeves,
maksai elfu thelathini na sita,
45 and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,
punda 30, 500,
46 and sixteen thousand persons —
na wanawake elfu kumi na sita.
47 even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, that kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Kutoka kwenye nusu ya watu wa Israeli, Musa alichukua moja katika hamsini, wote watu na wanyama. Aliwapa Walawi ambao huitumikia masikani ya BWANA, kama BWANA alivyokuwa amemwamuru kufanya.
48 And the officers that were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses;
Kisha wale maakida wa jeshi, makamanda wa elfu na makapteni wa mamia, wakaja kwa Musa.
49 and they said unto Moses: 'Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war that are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
Wakamwambia, “watumishi wako wamewahesabu wanajeshi ambao wako chini yetu, hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyekosa.
50 And we have brought the LORD'S offering, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, armlets, and bracelets, signet-rings, ear-rings, and girdles, to make atonement for our souls before the LORD.'
Tumemletea BWANA sadaka, ambayo kila mmoja amepata, vitu vya dhahabu, metali, timbi, pete za mhuri, vipini na vikuku, ili kujifanyia upatanisho kwa BWANA.”
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
Musa na Eliazari kuhani akapokea kutoka kwao dhahabu na vitu vyote vilivyotengenezwa kwa ufundi.
52 And all the gold of the gift that they set apart for the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. —
Vitu vyote vya sadaka ya dhahabu ambavyo walimpa BWANA- sadaka toka kwa makamanda wa maelfu na kutoka kwa makepteni wa mamia - vilikuwa na uzito wa shekeli 16, 750.
53 For the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself. —
Kila mwanajeshi alikuwa ameteka nyara ya kila mtu kwa ajili yake.
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
Musa na Eliazari kuhani wakazichukuazile dhahabu toka kwa makamanda wa maelfu na makepteni wa mamia. Wakavipeleka kwenye hema ya kukutania kama ukumbusho wa watu wa Israeli kwa BWANA.
